What is a teeth cleaning?

A professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing miss. A routine cleaning works above the gumline. A deep cleaning, called scaling and root planing, treats gum disease below the gumline.

Teeth cleaning: specialist or general dentist?

Dental hygienists and general dentists do routine cleanings. A periodontist (gum specialist) may be recommended when gum disease is advanced or keeps coming back after deep cleanings.

How much does a teeth cleaning cost in Columbia?

Typical ranges in USD for Columbia, MD. Your price depends on the tooth, the case and the clinic.
